BREAD

Is there any reality more basic,

more acceptable than bread:

broken, buttered, handed to,

never disliked - no ego - you’ll

spot that at times when it comes

to wine - bread never the main

event - just bread being bread -

waiting, sitting - there on a plate

or in a basket - listening - ready

to do what bread does: feeds us?
